Bug ID: 439535
Summary: Edit -> Search in files window does not appear after
collapsing when using shortcut
Product: kate
Version: 21.04.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the 'Edit -> Search in files' function it will appear at the bottom
as a tray without an 'x' button. Not a big deal, except that you can't use
'Esc' to exit out of it, which would match the behaviour of the 'find'
function. But you can drag it and collapse the window.
However the real issue is when you use 'search in files' shortcut when you have
previously collapsed the window. Now your text caret is actually in the 'Find'
input field but as you type it's completely hidden in the collapsed window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Edit -> Search in files
2. Drag the window to collapse 'Search in files'
3. Use the [Ctrl+Alt+F] to open 'Search in files'
4. Start typing.
OBSERVED RESULT
The caret disappears into the hidden Search in files window
EXPECTED RESULT
Search in files opens instead of remaining hidden
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be nice to use the 'Esc' key to exit out of this function and to
include an 'x' button (on the right) to be consistent.
